Details: Renishaw's vineyard was planted in the upper pasture in 1972. Planted in 1972 when it was the most northerly vineyard in western Europe, perceived wisdom at the time being that grapes would only succeed south of a line from the Wash in the east to South Wales in the west.

However, now due to global warming, or man's adventurous spirit, there are vineyards planted near Leeds, in the Lake District and even in Norway!

Two consecutive hot summers are needed for the best crops, the first to ripen the fruit bearing wood and to initiate flower bud formation, the second to ripen the grapes themselves.

This, however, is a course of perfection and grapes suitable for wine making are produced in even typical English summers.
